Just like the title reads... Cavirtex can kiss my ass with their incompetent staff and not verifying my account over the stupidest reason. Looking to buy 3.6 BTC for CAD cash. PM me if you can help out.

so whats the consensus on a PSU for the ants / what's the most popular choice...? what sort of wattage do you need for factory and / or OC'd units...?
If you have some spare time for modding, server psu is the cheapest choice that you can find (Dell PSUs are the most used) i really don't have any time to dedicate to modding... just looking for a cheap PnP... what wattage is recommended for factory or OC'd ants...? It's not so much wattage, it's amperage on the 12V rail. An OC'd S1 uses about 32-33amps on a gold PSU on a 115v line. Make sure whatever you get has enough juice on the 12V line to run as many Ants as you are looking for, and you should be fine. M so if i were looking @ something like this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139060 would that cover the power source needed to run a factory ant? what about an OC'd ant? I can't tell. There are no specs about the 12V rail. I'd proceed with caution. If you intend to drive more than one ant, and are prepared to spend $100 on a decent PSU, consider this one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182063Will drive 3xOCd S1s with room to spare. M can't shell out that much thats for sure... i'd rather not hook up more then one ant to one psu... so i would need about 6-8 psu's total... anything recommendations in the $100 range if possible would be appreciated... |

is it safe to be running the ants 24/7 with an empty house 5 days a week for 8 hours or so... getting a little concerned of them blowing up or catching fire...
As long as you have them correctly powered and cooled, there should be no issue and nothing to worry about. won't be overclocking them until the warranty is up and plan on using corsair 80 plus gold 850W for each miner + stock fans... |

anyone in canada have experience with getting these ants... whats the customs procedure like? how much did you end up paying in taxes / duties?
About $26 a machine. No customs issues, just pay the man when he comes to your door. Its even cheaper for multiples. My last order of 9 averaged $18 per ant. Shipping is fast and smooth, no problem getting them in the country. About the same here, 92$ for each of my 5 unit orders brooo thats nowhere near the same as $26 / $18 per unit... really dont wanna get stuck paying around $100 x 8 units... in the comments section if i ask them to put a low value on it will they oblige...? Anyone want a voucher for a S2?
how much is it for and what are you looking to get for it? when does it expire? Bro, 92\5=18.40 that was totally my bad i didn't fully read your post i guess... i thought you meant $92 per unit.... |

thanks for the info... seems like wifi is my only option for now... unless i can set these up in my brothers place and hardware them in... any suggestions for hubs since his router can only host 5 ethernet cables? that being said is there a link for some quality antennas i can pick up if i can't set these up @ my brothers place? also this is the rack i was looking at http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/3-tier-chrome-wire-shelf-0680324p.html#.U2zDL1f_lVY simple and basic for only 8 units... would that work or no? Rather than WiFi, if you can't get an Ethernet cable from the miner back to your router consider using a couple of network over powerline adapters. I use a couple of Trendnet AV500 adapters to get networking to a streaming media box in my kitchen. Works like a charm and averages about 190Mbs. Much better connection than WiFi. If I ever pull the gun on a S1 it will end up in my basement on another AV500 adapter. quite interesting but how would that work for 8 units? would i need 9 adapters total? one for the router and the other 8 for the miners? No, just put a switch in. You can pickup 8-port 100Mbps switches for dirt cheap these days, as low as $10 on Newegg. Run the miners to the switch and one cable from the switch to the AV500 adapter. Since you are going to have 8 miners you will need to switches, but Ethernet can handle chaining switches up to a point. As for the powerline network adapters, here is a set for under $42. [router] -- [power adapter] -- [house wiring] -- [power adapter] -- [switch] -- [Ant x 7] i may just invest in a 16 port switch... eliminates the need for 2 of them and allows me to have the capability of adding a few more miners if i purchase more after the initial 8... thanks for all the help... |

Of course you can use a 16 ports switch between those 8 anties and the powerline  how would the hook up work? |
